10.8 In the light of its practice relating to article 13 and the observations set out above, the
Committee considers that the breaches enumerated are incompatible with the obligation
stipulated in article 13 to proceed to a prompt investigation.
10.9 Finally, the Committee considers that there are insufficient elements to make a finding
on the alleged violation of other provisions of the Convention raised by the complainant at the
time of adoption of this decision.

The Committee against Torture, acting under article 22, paragraph 7, of the Convention,
is of the view that the facts before it disclose a violation of articles 12 and 13 of the Convention
against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
12.
Pursuant to rule 112, paragraph 5 of its rules of procedure, the Committee urges the State
party to conduct an investigation into the complainant’s allegations of torture and ill-treatment,
and to inform it, within 90 days from the date of the transmittal of this decision, of the steps it
has taken in response to the views expressed above.
